Remain in the darkness, though full of fright,
Children of faith do not fear;
I will find you there, it is a sure sight.
When the night comes, don't seek the light
Tho uncertainty is so hard to bear;
Remain in the darkness, though full of fright.
Blurred vision causing men to suffer blight
Be still, for it will be steered clear;
I will find you there, it is a sure sight.
The night, don't turn to a day bright
For brilliance is yet insincere
Remain in the darkness, though full of fright.
Blinding darkness overnight
Is all you have to bear;
I will find you there, it is a sure sight.
Tonight you should not spite
Open your heart and you will hear
Remain in the darkness, though full of fright.
I will find you there, it is a sure sight.

the melodic chords
at finger tips , drift
back and forth into a song
'ere long-
the vivid images
in a painter's eye
transformed, splash
upon canvas-
the nouns,adjectives
memorable verbs
from poetic ears
writ large,then
sweet voices,heard
so
Come..
fly with me
beyond,beyond
imagination;
Capture..
emotion's
aurora in your
firmanent;
Watch..
images descend
as crystallised
inspiration;
Bathe..
in a tide
of surreal
tranquility;
Paint..
what you see
with fine words
of poetry.
where
The music of silence
calms
my mind
my
thoughts
trickle-down
bubbling
over
the rocks
of experience
Waves
of imagination
surface and jostle
one with the other
like children
at play
shouting for attention
for life
on my page
